Synopsis
Shane Dekkar is an undefeated, gorgeous, and somewhat shy boxer
from Compton
California. In the ring, he's a beast, out of the ring, he's loving, caring, and
intriguing. After the death of his grandfather, he moves to Austin and meets
Kace by happenstance as she and her boyfriend are in an argument in public. He
is drawn to her, and she to him. Her boyfriend drives away as she mouths the
words "help me" through the window...
When they meet again two years
later, Shane begins to believe in fate. But, as he prepares for a potential shot
at a championship fight, he believes there's no time in his life or career or a
woman.
Kace Meadows lives in Austin, Texas. Now 26, she has been in an
abusive relationship since she was sixteen years old. As terrible as it is, she
can’t seem to find a way to allow herself to end it. With her current boyfriend,
she can’t seem to win. She finds hope in reading about her book
boyfriends....and dreaming.
Until she meets Shane Dekkar, a boxer. Holy
mother of perfection...
Shane fights his inner demons by using his
fists. On the street or in the ring, Shane does what he does best, he wins at
any cost. Unlike Kace, Shane can’t seem to lose.
Undefeated is an
extremely romantic erotica novel about fighting. Fighting for what you believe
in. Fighting for life. Fighting to live. And fighting to keep love once you find
it.
Be prepared to be moved, touched, stand up and cheer, and
cry your eyes out. This book will, without a doubt, knock you unconscious. This
novel clearly defines the love that we all seem to want, yet can't find. This is
not your typical boxing/fighter romance. This book will give you hope, make you
feel, and cause you to wonder....wonder why you haven't met your Shane Dekkar.

Author Scott Hildreth's Inspiration for Writing
Undefeated
My inspiration to write Undefeated, and the hope that it may
inspire someone to get out of an abusive relationship, came from the events described below. The
events below are true. The events in the book are not. The book is one hundred percent
fiction.
One weekend, I had a girl get in touch with me that I had never
met. She had received my telephone number from a friend of a friend. Frantic, she attempted to
speak to me initially, but each time she tried, she was overcome with emotion.
This emotion filled silence continued for almost an hour, and
then we then actually began to communicate, albeit slowly, and one-sided. I learned through the
conversation (that lasted almost eight hours) that she was bound by her husband, and gang raped
by his friends. This happened for a few days. Against, if I even need to state this, her will. She
was in and out of consciousness for two days. Eventually, she was released. In shock and
extremely poor health, she contacted me from a remote hotel room.
I struggled with this event, and how to handle it. I struggled
with this more than I have struggled with almost anything in my life. Vengeance. At what point
does one administer justice to someone that the courts will undoubtedly not punish properly? The
punishment for this particular crime, regardless of what was imposed by the court, would not be
sufficient for the crime committed.
I chose at the time to speak to another close female friend
about the event, and get her opinion.
Although I could not speak to my friend about the person, the
events, or the intimacies of the above mentioned conversation, we spoke for some time in
general about God, about law and about the difference between what is right and what is wrong. I
shared with her my thoughts of feeling a need to resolve this issue with the caller’s husband on
my own. When the smoke cleared, I sat in a coffee shop and thought. I made a decision. “Put up
again thy sword into his place; for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.” I
decided, for once in my life, that it was not my responsibility to resolve this issue. I contacted the
authorities, called in a few favors from some friends in law enforcement, and the issue was dealt
with in a manner in accordance with law.
My female friend, as always, proved extremely useful in her
ability to convey her understanding of the message of God in a manner that I could listen to and
accept. I have always struggled with attempting to do what is right (in my mind), and hoped that
it was what was right in God’s eyes. I do not know that these things always were in line with one
another.
Until now.
And now, a year later, the person from the incident above?
She is well. As well as she can be, considering all things. She is
fortunate.
I struggle - still today - with thoughts of vengeance.
My struggle brought me to this.
I hope you enjoy.
My review
When I received this book for review I had no idea what the book was about because I didn't eve read the synopsis and when I heard people liking it so much I thought wow This book have to be goo and Let me tell you it was. It was a book so different. I think I was hooked from the starting. I had never liked reading about abuse but still i gave this book a chance and am really happy to read this book and how it progressed. How the girl seemed to grow and fight back.
The guy Shane is so different from the other books. It was really different. He was sweet, caring and so damn strong. Kace was little bit like me. Lost in world of books. Yes, I was pissed when she kept taking shit from her boyfriend but came to like her later when she finally had guts to fight back and open up to new people. There are incidents which will make you laugh!! Some scenes which will make you love it,cry. You will feel everything there in the book. I won't give you any spoilers but the romance, sexy hot Undefeated fighter ...You gonna love him!!

Excerpts
(If you are posting an excerpt, please choose one for
post)
Excerpt 1
Kace
Trying to figure a way to get out of a relationship and not feel like a
complete failure is difficult. Most people will never understand why I have stayed in the
relationship with Josh as long as I have. As much as I hate the way that he has treated me, I
cannot imagine giving up on us - giving up on our relationship. I don’t think I know how to be
alone. When I think of it, my head gets all jumbled up and I get scared. Sometimes when I think
of leaving him I shake. As soon as I start shaking, I change my mind. I often wish someone
would decide for me.
Each time that he has beaten me, I deserved it. I remember the time
when I was eighteen, right after high school. Josh was twenty-one. He had to work overtime that
day, and he came home exhausted from a long day at work. He asked me about dinner, and I
back talked him. He just lost his temper. He never would have hit me if I hadn’t talked back. It
was a really long day for him.
Excerpt 2
Shane
If I am attempting it, and I do not succeed, you can believe that I gave it my best effort,
regardless of the outcome. I choose to do very little, and be exceptional at what it is I decide to
do. I would much rather be perceived as being great at a few things than be a failure at many. I
have always been honest with myself and conscious of who I am, but that doesn’t always help
me understand why I am the way I am.
On the outside, I am always kind, polite, and considerate of others. On the inside, demons reside.
I don’t know why or what fuels the demons inside of me, but I am very aware of their existence.
My consciousness of their need, necessity, and deep desire to be fed is what has caused me to
choose boxing as my main outlet. I keep the demons fed, and they allow me to live an otherwise
peaceful life. Fulfilling their hunger allows my desire to live a tranquil life to be met. As long as
I continue to fight, they’re fed. When they are fed, I am allowed. Allowed to live.

About the Author
Readers,
I will never forget the first time I actually felt as if I had helped someone resolve an issue in their
life. I was in middle school. It started then, and has continued throughout my entire life. I have
always made myself available to talk to people and resolve (or attempt to resolve) issues that
they struggle with.
Having an exceptional ability to communicate has always been a gift of mine, and I have enjoyed
doing so. Telling stories has always been second nature to me. Writing has been a passion of
mine since I was a child. I have written poetry, romance, self-help, addiction, alcoholism,
codependency, technical, and satire. There isn't a genre or a topic that I feel more comfortable
with. I enjoy writing about whatever it is that I feel passionate about at the time.
Being open-minded and often seeing abusive relationships unfold, I have always been passionate
about abuse, or the prevention of it. My main focus has always been people that are incapable of
helping themselves, primarily women, children, and the elderly. I have talked to hundreds of
women that were in abusive relationships, and assisted many of them in removing themselves
from these relationships.
I try to focus in my writings to develop a story that makes people stop and think. To look at a
subject or subjects from a different point of view. If I am able to get my point across, and make
the subject entertaining to the reader, I feel that I have met my objective. I feel that I have
tremendous depth as a person, and have had some great experiences in my life. To date, what life
has offered me has been nothing short of spectacular. My opinions, point of views, and
perspectives on matters are just that; an opinion. There isn't necessarily a right or wrong in what I
write, but more of a belief. I always believe in what I am writing, and I further believe that the
reader may benefit from viewing it from the written perspective.
I hope that you enjoy reading what I have written as much as I enjoy writing it. Nothing gives me
greater satisfaction than knowing a reader enjoyed something I have written. Considering that,
please take time to leave a book review if you have read something I have written.
Best Regards,
Scott Hildreth
